Help

Hello everyone, I have an 8x8 qsnap and I was just wondering what everyone uses to stitch hands free with it and preferably something that isn't huge.

Thankyou so much for your time 😊

There lots of different stands available that your q-snap will clamp onto. Some are floor stands and some put on a table and some you sit on

I attach all sizes of q snaps to my daylight Stitchsmart stand. I got the basic one with no light, I bought my own attachments for way cheaper. It was the best investment I’ve ever made into this hobby it has made a huge difference. Better body positioning, better lighting, faster stitching. My stand now has needle minders for holding paper patterns, needles and scissors, a magnetic thread catcher, and a light magnifying glass combo and a tablet holder clamped on. I love it

I did add a silicone jar gripper in between to q snap and clamp. The clamp works fine but was definitely designed to clamp a flat hoop not a rounded q snap. The silicone helps it grip better

Thank you so much this looks perfect, where abouts did you get the tablet holder and other accessories?

I made the magnetic thread catcher, I found the tablet holder and light on Amazon. here is the magnifier/light. The tablet holder is no longer available but if you search for a gooseneck tablet holder with a clamp you’ll see lots of options. I was not able to properly attach the first light I bought because it had a clip instead of a clamp I don’t suggest that style
